    Initially starting out as a defensive midfielder, Koopmeiners has now enjoyed a successful transition into a number 10 position and has come up with 26 goals and 12 assists in 112 games for Atalanta in all tournaments.

    A productive 2023-24 campaign has seen the 26-year-old increase his goal threat with 12 strikes and four assists in 34 games, helping Atalanta reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League and semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

    Man Utd's Victor Lindelof addresses Saudi Arabia exit rumours

    Manchester United's Victor Lindelof has poured cold water over suggestions that he could leave the Red Devils for the Saudi Pro League this summer.

    The 29-year-old's future has been the subject of intense speculation for some time, as he has failed to become a consistent starter for head coach Erik ten Hag since the Dutchman's arrival.

    Nevertheless, Man United triggered a one-year extension in his contract in January, meaning that the Sweden international is tied to the Red Devils until the end of the 2024-25 campaign, but his long-term career prospects are still up in the air.

    Should a long-term renewal with Lindelof's camp not be agreed, Man United would be expected to entertain offers for the centre-back this summer lest they run the risk of losing him for nothing next year.

    Arsenal 'set to offer new contract to Jorginho'

    Arsenal midfielder Jorginho will reportedly be offered a new deal by the Gunners on account of his renewed importance to the squad.

    The former Chelsea and Napoli lynchpin only penned an 18-month agreement with Mikel Arteta's side upon his arrival in January 2023 after Mohamed Elneny suffered a serious knee injury.

    Jorginho was a regular fixture in Arteta's side during his first half-season at the club, but he would seemingly be consigned to a bit-part role in 2023-24 due to the signings of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.

    The Italy international did begin the campaign on the fringes of the Arsenal XI, but since the turn of the year, he has blossomed into an integral performer for Arteta in the middle of the park.

    Fulham have reportedly identified Roma defender Leonardo Spinazzola as a potential summer transfer target.

    The full-back has spent the last five years in the Italian capital after arriving from Juventus in the summer of 2019.

    During his time with the Giallorossi, Spinazzola has made a total of 143 competitive appearances, contributing with seven goals and 21 assists.

    However, Spinazzola faces an uncertain future at the Stadio Olimpico, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
